Let Our Hearts be Full of the Grace of God!

 

4th Week of Easter Friday

Acts 13:26-33

Meditation

Let Our Hearts be Full of the Grace of God!

The message of Jesus was from Jewish community, as they were chosen by God but they rejected the message and the Messenger Jesus. Now the message of Messiah is sent to the Gentiles. They belong to God as the children of Abraham. God has promised the good news to all generations and as well to our ancestors. God by his nature and life belongs to all without distinctions.

As we read in Psalm 2, “You are my son; today I have become your father.’ Every one of us who loves God with a genuine heart and mind becomes the true son/daughter of God; God becomes our Father, and we become his beloved children. All are called to be witnesses of Jesus to love and care for one another. Love is the message of Jesus to all of us, his sons and daughters.

Do you like to become the son/daughter of God?

Gospel:  Jn 14:1-6

Meditation

Jesus says I am the way, the truth, and the life.  These words are very powerful and meaningful for life. Jesus is the Way! What is the way you are on? How is your way? Where will it lead you? Jesus is the Truth! What is the truth you are seeking? Who is the truth? What are you going to do with the truth? Jesus is the life! What is life for you? Are you happy with your life? What do you want to do with your life? But believe that everything is Jesus; Jesus is the beginning and the end. There is nothing before him and after him.

Do I believe that Jesus is the WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE?

St Simon Stock (1165-1265)

God Reveals Himself to those Whom He Loves~

  30 December 2024 1Jn2:12-17 Meditation St John is writing to fathers, children, and young people to free them from the evils of life because of Jesus. He tells them not to love the world and those who are passing. Humans are more passionate about the temporary things of life. They are not attracted to lasting ones that give peace and Joy. The desires of the flesh, the attraction of the eyes, and the pride that comes from the world's riches do not belong to the Father in heaven. Those things that belong to God, heaven, and eternity give us lasting joy, peace, and happiness. They call for commitment and sacrifice on the part of individuals. The world and its attractions are always easy but lead to darkness and sadness. The way to happiness and light is challenging and less attractive. Do we choose life in God or death in the world? 30 December Gospel: Lk 2:36-40 Meditation God Reveals Himself to Those Whom He Loves The Prophetess, Anna, was at the servers of the...

Follow Jesus!

  First Week Saturday Ordinary Time Saturday Year One Heb 4:12-16 The Word of God is powerful. It can do the impossible and transform people. Let us read the Word of God. As we know, it is inspired and does immense good. Those who read the Word of God will not go astray. It sustains in times of fragility and temptation. Jesus is the supreme high priest. He was born among humans and lived among them, knowing their frailties. Jesus knew what it meant to be human. He will very well sympathize with us and lead us to believe that we can overcome our sin and guilt and live as sons and daughters of God set free forever. Jesus knew what it meant to be human. Year Two 1 Sam 9:1-4, 17-10; 10:1 Samuel Anoints Saul Meditation Saul, the son of Kish, had gone to look for lost donkeys. Samuel was on search to anoint someone for the Lord. On the first sight of Saul, the Lord speaks to Samuel to anoint Saul. He anoints Saul with a flask of olive oil he carried, pours on Saul’s...

Let us Go on God's Way!

  3 rd February 2024 4th Week: Ordinary Time Monday Heb 11:32-40 Mediations Let us Go on God's Way! Great men and women in the history of God’s plan suffered. Suffering for the cause of God and doing great things for the Lord is no avail. It may not make one perfect in life. Doing great things for God without God’s hand and his way is useless. One has to suffer rightly for the cause of God, and it is God who gives us perfection through his grace. It is not that we have gained perfection through our efforts. Do we go on God’s way or our own way? 2 Sam 15:13-14, 3;16:5-13a David Flees Meditation David’s son Absolom turns against him. Absalom wants to kill David. David is cursed for his evil ways. He has to flee from people. As he passes by, he experiences rejection from the people. It happens that one has to go through the face of rejection from people in life for the evil one has done. It is part of life. At one time or another, humans become contemptuous of peo...
